car pulls to left at acceleration after coilover install
i installed coilovers on my car yester day and dropped it about 3 inches.
when i push the gas my car pulls t othe right. both front and back coilovers are adjusted to the same amount of threads on the coilovers. my passenget side back does sit about 1/4 a inch higher on the passenger back but i thought that was normal with coilovers.anyone help?

with your right rear up higher your loaded up your left front tire with more weight so it has more traction then the other tires and that why you have torque steer brake out your scale and set your corner weight so you have the right weight distribution front to back and left to right
its the passenger rear wheel thats higher and the car is pulling to the right.i guess ill just lower it slowly on that side i dont have scales and am too broke to get the corner weight done
is the car pulling to the right or the left????????? first post say's left second post say's right???????? and you can set your coner weight with 4 bath room scales just make sure to put the scales on a level floor and be able to move freely as the car is being lowered on to them so the suspenion is't in a bind when make you adjustment: note 4 scales rated at 500lbs each equles 2,000 lb car
With coilovers the car will never be even when they are all set at the same level.
It just isn't possible.
For the car to be level they will ALL be at different height.
Don't forgot you need to get the car aligned, unless you like replaceing tires a lot.

you need an alignment. same thing happened to me when i install coilovers and a camber kit. you may think its fine, but modding ur suspension that much shifts things significantly

it used to yes. or it could be torque steer. but now that i think about it i think mine pulled all the time not necessarily when i hit the gas... torque steer only happens when u hit the gas however. id check and make sure ur axles arent rubbing on anything and make sure both sides have the same amound of clearance
